Mother's Day Gifts - DIY

Here are some of my top favorite gift ideas for my special mommy! YES, I love her.  She gave me life, she raised me, she supports me and she loves me ♥.  So, I hope you all take the time to get something done with some little effort on your part besides shopping...instead make something UNIQUE and HANDMADE and spend some quality time with her.

Burner cover memo magnet board
Also, if you're running really low on cash, then opt for giving mom some at-home-spa love.  This means give her a facial, a manicure, do her hair and makeup, and give her a pedicure..and bring it all in a basket early in the afternoon before your mom's true love (her hubby) comes through the door and takes her on a date.  It'll just take some time on your part to plan and execute.  Believe me, I've done this in the past when I've been dirt poor and my mom has LOVED it!

If you're a mom yourself, still take the time to appreciate your mommy a day before and let her feel extra special (since she is special everyday), and that way you can have a free night to yourself as well ;-)

DIY Fabric Flowers

Here some tutorials for making your very own fabric flowers.  Don't forget to add your own flair and not limit yourself to using only the material being mentioned.  Be creative and first visualize what you want the end result to be.  I've made most of these myself already and still want to try the rest.  You do have to use felt for most to fimly attach them to clips and make them have stronger bases that won't fall off.  It is addicting and beautiful too!  They can worn to adorn the hair, shoulder of a dress, near the opening of a cardigan, on a clutch or purse, hats, beanies, headbands, and even a thin belt...you name it!!!!!  I love flower clips and I know you will too!  The best part, you can make as BIG or small as you want.

I recommend making the outer layer smaller, but stuff like this makes me wish for a baby girl in the house....I can dream right?




This cute one is from V and Co.  You can definitely add more and make them all different sizes!




Ribbon peony flower pins from Make it Do.




These are all from Martha Stewart. The top rose and lower peony flower templates can be found here.  The middle dahlia flower template can he found here.






A pretty flower made of ribbon with hardly any sewing involved from V and Co.






Easy flower pin from rnl musings.



This one is one, from Design Sponge, I love to make and mainly use solid colors from satin material and tulle, but patterns are okay too.  I actually learned while watching the news one early morning and a fashionista came in for some tips and quick DIYs.  The early bird does get the worm!




A Pom Pom Pins tutorial by Love Stitched.  Super easy and cute!  I just recently tried this out as an accent for a pictures frame...turned out quite nice.  It looked delicate and whimsical.
